If you read the report this is why I say network traffic with a Sec-GPC: 1 (GPC opt-out) should return a 451 automatically instead of a cookie, and how the Meta Pixel code can wrap a GPC conditional around execution. That's why they are terrified - fines don't matter, code does.


yes that seems to be workable, but then its thier code, and house techs you have to preempt. the problem seems to be one of, effectively compelling a change of code and heuristics.

im wondering what would be more effective.

1] desist or existentially threatening fines, or indentureship will occur.

2] you have a problem with code maintainence, we will take code maintainence into receivership, until you have demonstrated that you can maintain code in a legal framework.


That's a terrible idea though. It means that anyone who selects the "Do not track me" option will find that they can't access the content at all, which will quickly train users to never select "Do not track me".
